Finding the right agency to manage account-based marketing (ABM) campaigns can be a daunting process. It is vital for B2B CMOs and executives to evaluate the capabilities of an agency, from experience in servicing clients with similar needs to their own, to possessing the technology skills, data-driven insights, and creative finesse needed for success.
A good agency should have strong relationships with senior marketing decision-makers and know how to leverage account intelligence to create personalized experiences for their target market. A truly exceptional agency will also be well-versed in the latest ABM tactics and strategies, such as targeted content marketing campaigns, integrated sales and marketing processes, personalization of emails and website content, and more. Furthermore, they should possess a deep understanding of customer journeys across multiple channels such as search engine optimization (SEO), social media platforms, email marketing campaigns, etc. This allows them to create comprehensive ABM programs tailored around specific accounts instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
An effective ABM program requires efficient collaboration between salespeople and marketers so decisions are made quickly while still providing an optimal customer experience. The right agency should understand the importance of this synergy and have the ability to develop a unified strategy across both teams that puts customers at the center of every decision. They must also be able to track progress throughout this process in order to optimize results over time.
